Resident Evil Veronica hype sends the remake to 2 million Steam wishlists, Capcom reveals, despite us knowing little about it
Capcom revealed that its Resident Evil Veronica remake has attracted 2 million wishlist entries on Steam in the roughly eight weeks since its formal announcement at Summer Game Fest. The platform's tracking data places the title as the eighth most-wishlisted game currently, though the full picture extends beyond Steam to include support for multiple console ecosystems, suggesting the total interest considerably exceeds the Steam figure alone.
The rapid accumulation of pre-release interest stands out given how little concrete information has been shared about the project. The sole substantial marketing material remains the original cinematic announcement trailer; gameplay details and development roadmap remain under wraps. The enthusiasm appears primarily rooted in the franchise's strong legacy, especially the original Resident Evil Veronica's standing as the series' second-highest reviewed title on Metacritic, trailing only the celebrated Resident Evil 4.
